Building Condition Assessments
With today’s ever-tightening budgets, facility managers need to do more with less. Pinchin can give you the facts on the most cost-effective strategy to manage building maintenance today and for the future. A Pinchin Building Condition Assessment (BCA) includes:
-
Inspection of building envelope, interior finishes, mechanical and electrical systems, and accessible structural components
-
Assessment of fire and life safety systems and exterior site features such as walkways, parking, and landscaping
-
Written and photographic documentation of each component together with observed deficiencies
-
Review of general documentation on repair and maintenance histories
-
Interviews with facilities and maintenance staff
-
A formal written report including observed deficiencies, estimated lifespan of building elements and systems, and a list of recommendations for repair or replacement with estimated costs.
-
Facility condition index benchmarking and funding considerations
A BCA is a smart way to maximize building life and reduce repair and maintenance costs.
Pinchin’s BCA services can be enhanced with a Reserve Fund Study, to help our clients develop long-term capital budget planning of expenditures for major repairs or replacements of building components and equipment.
